IMO searching the candidates' posts and looking at the ones before the election was announced can help  tongue  Don't forget the speeches though.

The speeches count for like 30% of my decision, while previous posts count for like 50%.

You're basing almost one-third of your decision on a single post?  hmm

Yes, but it's not like it's a regular post, it's a post about why we should vote for them, what they'd do and other various important things.

Don't these things matter to you?  hmm

Not really, no; I'd prefer to judge people on all of their previous posts, not just one post which doesn't really mean anything, as they could easily lie. Plus all the speeches are pretty much the same anyway, just saying "Vote for me, I have experience, I'm very helpful" blah blah blah.

I'm not gonna criticise you for the way you vote, but I'm not gonna deny I don't agree with it either.

That's another way to vote, and it seems to work well. However, I think their speech is very important and even if they lie, you get some sort of idea of who they are and what they stand for, especially if you haven't seen them around or don't really know them.

But I also try to not say something that somebody else already said, or say "I don't know" or just include one link. I also haven't been that interested in Advanced Topics too much recently, I'm not sure why. I'm not into the modding stuff to heavily, since we'll be moving to Scratch 2.0 eventually.  smile

Exactly, that's why i don't have over 9000 posts yet. It's pointless to just repeat something already said upthread, or give an "i don't know".

It's seems kinda cheap to vote for myself, but I still wanted to have my say about the other candidates... maybe next election have a special page for the candidates so they don't need to pick themselves  tongue  It felt kind of weird choosing what position I would be in!

Anyway, voted. And good luck to all.

Me too. I only post if I'm expanding on what another user's said, or if it hasn't been answered at all.
